Wow. This pair is really amazing:
Before:

After:

It would be cool to edit them a bit so that they really line up perfectly.
You can see the roads and a lighthouse in both of them, and those could be
used to align the shots. The 'before' shot looks like a beautiful green
neighborhood, but the second looks like absolutely all of it was
annihilated.
